OpenAI's ChatGPT faces outage, users report access issues
OpenAI's widely-used chatbot, ChatGPT, is currently experiencing a partial outage. The issue has been confirmed by OpenAI on its official status page. A significant number of users have reported difficulties in accessing the service due to "Elevated Errors on some API models."

Additional issue impacts Workspace Analytics tab
In addition to the primary outage, another issue has been identified that primarily affects the Workspace Analytics tab. According to OpenAI's status page, "The Workspace Analytics tab for ChatGPT Enterprise is currently not returning any data." The company has pinpointed the root cause of this problem and is actively working on a solution.
